Stanford University
Alpaca
FREEStanford University released an instruction-following language model called Alpaca, which was fine-tuned from Meta’s LLaMA 7B model. The Alpaca model was trained on 52K instruction-following demonstrations generated in the style of self-instruct using text-davinci-003. Alpaca aims to help the academic community engage with the models by providing an open source model that rivals OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 (text-davinci-003) models. To this end, Alpaca has been kept small and cheap (fine-tuning Alpaca took 3 hours on 8x A100s which is less than $100 of cost) to reproduce. All training data and techniques have been released. The Alpaca license explicitly prohibits commercial use, and the model can only be used for research/personal projects, and users need to follow LLaMA’s license agreement. -

Falcon-40B
OTHERThe Technology Innovation Institute (TII), an Abu Dhabi government funded research institution, has introduced Falcon, a state-of-the-art autoregressive decoder-only language model series released under the Apache 2.0 license, which means it can be used for commerical and research uses.
The family includes Falcon-40B and Falcon-7B, trained on 1 trillion tokens, mainly (>80%) from the RefinedWeb datase. A special variant, Falcon-40B-Instruct, has been made available which may be more suitable for assistant-style tasks. Falcon-40B can support English, German, Spanish, French (and limited capabilities in Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech, Swedish). It can be used to generate creative text and solve complex problems, chatbots, virtual assistants, language translation, content generation, and sentiment analysis (and more).To use these models, PyTorch 2.0 is required. TII is now calling for proposals from users worldwide to submit their most creative ideas for Falcon 40B’s deployment – https://falconllm.tii.ae/call-for-proposal.php or you can pay to access it via Amazon SageMaker JumpStart.
A demo of Falcon-Chat is available on Hugging Face at https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/falcon-chat. -

Falcon-7B
FREEThe Technology Innovation Institute (TII), an Abu Dhabi government funded research institution, has introduced Falcon, a state-of-the-art autoregressive decoder-only language model series released under the Apache 2.0 license, which means it can be used for commerical and research uses. Falcon-7B only needs ~15GB and therefore is accessible even on consumer hardware. The model can support English, German, Spanish, French (and limited capabilities in Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech, Swedish). It can be used to generate creative text and solve complex problems, chatbots, customer service operations, virtual assistants, language translation, content generation, and sentiment analysis.
This raw pretrained model should be finetuned for specific use cases. Falcon-7B-Instruct is also available at https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct.
If you are looking for a version better-suited model to take generic instructions in a chat format, we recommend Falcon-7B-Instruct rather than the base model. -
Cohere
Generate
$0.015Cohere is a Canadian startup that provides high-performance and secure LLMs for the enterprise. Their models work on public, private, or hybrid clouds.Cohere Generate can be used for tasks such as copywriting, named entity recognition, paraphrasing, and summarization. It can be particularly useful for automating time-consuming and repetitive copywriting tasks and re-wording text to suit a specific reader or context.Cohere Generate is available as an API that can be integrated into various libraries using Python, Node, or Go software development kits (SDKs).We have shown the price of the Cohere Generate Default version, but a Cohere Generate Custom model is available but is double the price (0.030 per 1/k tokens). However, custom models can lead to some of the best-performing NLP models for many tasks. -

MT-NLG
OTHERMT-NLG (Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation) uses the architecture of the transformer-based Megatron to generate coherent and contextually relevant text for a range of tasks, including completion prediction, reading comprehension, commonsense reasoning, natural language inferences, and word sense disambiguation. MT-NLG is the successor to Microsoft Turing NLG 17B and NVIDIA Megatron-LM 8.3B. The MT-NLG model is three times larger than GPT-3 (530B vs 175B). Following the original Megatron work, NVIDIA and Microsoft trained the model on over 4,000 GPUs. NVIDIA has announced an Early Access program for its managed API service to the MT-NLG model for organizations and researchers. -

NeMo
FREENVIDIA NeMo, part of the NVIDIA AI platform, is an end-to-end, cloud-native enterprise framework to help build, customize, and deploy generative AI models. NeMo makes generative AI model development easy, cost-effective and fast for enterprises. NeMo has separate collections for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Text-to-Speech (TTS) models. Each collection consists of prebuilt modules that include everything needed to train on your data. NeMo framework supports both language and image generative AI models. Currently, the workflow for language is in open beta, and the workflow for images is in early access. You must be a member of the NVIDIA Developer Program and logged in with your organization’s email address to access it. It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, which is a permissive open source license that allows for commercial use. -
StableLM
StableLM-Base-Alpha -7B
FREEStability AI released a new open-source language model, StableLM. The Alpha version of the model is available in 3 billion and 7 billion parameters. StableLM is trained on a new experimental dataset built on The Pile, but three times larger with 1.5 trillion tokens of content. The richness of this dataset gives StableLM surprisingly high performance in conversational and coding tasks, despite its small size. The models are now available on GitHub and on Hugging Face, and developers can freely inspect, use, and adapt our StableLM base models for commercial or research purposes subject to the terms of the CC BY-SA-4.0 license.

Cohere
Summarize
$0.015Cohere is a Canadian startup that provides high-performance and secure LLMs for the enterprise. Their models work on public, private, or hybrid clouds and is available as an API that can be integrated into various libraries using Python, Node, or Go software development kits (SDKs).Cohere Summarize generates a succinct version of a provided text. This summary relays the most important messages of the text, and a user can configure the results with a variety of parameters to support unique use cases. It can instantly encapsulate the key points of a document and provides text summarization capabilities at scale. -
